I abhor loaded terms, and will often try to use many more descriptive words in their place.
Whenever I see new terms being used on dating apps, I’m always curious and try to read up on them with an open mind… but I struggle with sapiosexual.
Being neurodivergent I have a lot of baggage around the concept of intelligence and ableism.
Something I’m curious about – I’ve never actually met someone who self describes as sapiosexual. What has your experience been? Would you say red flag altogether?
I've never met someone who described themselves that way in earnest in person but I have run into it a lot on profiles.
It's...low key very irritating.
"I'm only attracted to smart people"
Ok, setting aside the problem of "smart" being incredibly relative, that just makes you sound like a huge douche.
To me, sapiosexualism simply means that lack of intelligence is a turnoff. It’s a preference, not an identity. I have a rather high IQ and a well-developed EQ. If someone is lacking in one of those areas, I might still be friends or play with them depending on physical chemistry, but there won’t be an emotional relationship.
